[edit] death

Did Pissarro die on 12th or 13th November? The article use both dates in different places. I've also found both on a web search. Can anyone find out a definitive answer? Stephen Turner 18:25, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

PedanticallySpeaking kindly asked this question on Wikipedia:Reference desk. The following replies are copied from there. Stephen Turner 10:47, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Funny, the death date seems indeed to be controversial...I'm not able to do any serious library research right now, but I noticed that Encyclopedia Britannica says he died November 13, 1903, while the German Brockhaus encyclopedia has him listed as having died on November 12. If two such renowned encyclopedias differ, there's probably some real difficulty in pinpointing the date. I'm intrigued to dig up some biographies and have a look, but that will take some time... -- Ferkelparade π 23:01, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your research, Ferkelparade. In that case, I suppose the article should state that the date is in doubt, unless and until we can resolve it definitively. Stephen Turner 10:06, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I suppose he was found dead on 13th Nov and the doctor gave a time of death between the two days?

[edit] Camille Pissarro - What eye condition did he have in his later years?

Does anyone know what eye condition Camille Pissarro was diagnosed with in his later years that prevented him from painting outside? I can't seem to find reference to it.

You may be thinking of Monet who developed cataracts. Vaniac 18:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] editing this page

I am slightly confused as to exactly what this sentence means "They had eight children together, one who died at birth, a daughter when nine and a son when an adult." should it read? They had eight children together, though three died, one at birth, a daughter when she was nine and a son when he was an adult. please give me some feed back

[edit] Image

The image on the right of this page misspells Pissarro's last name. Can anyone find a better one? Vaniac 18:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More Pissarros?

I find it rather annoying and inacurate that when one searches for "Pissarro" on Wikipedia that we are automatically redirected to the "Camille Pissarro" page. I expected to see a list of possibilities when I simply searched for the last name. There are several other prominant and noteworthy artists in Camille's liniage, yes? I don't believe a search for "Pissarro" should go directly here... there should be pages devoted to the other artists with the same last name (i.e. Lucien Pissarro; Ludovic-Rodo Pissarro; Paulémile Pissarro; H. Claude Pissarro; and Lélia Pissarro). --Arthistoryguy (talk) 23:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

• I would have to disagree on the redirection. The vast majority of people who search on "Pissarro" are looking for Camille Pissarro. So the redirection makes sense. A separate disambig page for the other artists might be in order, though to someone who isn't an art history expert, are any of them REALLY that notable or well-known? You tell me, Arthistoryguy! :D --Etacar11 13:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

• I weighed that point before I added my message. I agree that most folks would like to learn about Camille, but if they're intelligent enough to search for "Pissarro" with two S's and two R's -- how many times have I seen that misspelled? -- then I'm willing to bet that they can add the first name as well. Ignoring the other artists is a tad like writing an encyclopedia and only including Bill Clinton, not Hillary, because he's more famous... But I digress. --Arthistoryguy (talk) 16:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
